Since D3FEND was founded to fill a gap created by the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix, it has come a long way. We discuss the details of the 1.0 release of D3FEND with Peter in this episode, along with some of the new tools they've built to go along with this milestone. To use MITRE's own words to describe the gap this project fills: "it is necessary that practitioners know not only what threats a capability claims to address, but specifically how those threats are addressed from an engineering perspective, and under what circumstances the solution would work" Segment Resources: https://d3fend.mitre.org In the enterprise security news, a final few fundings before the year closes out Arctic Wolf buys Cylance from Blackberry for cheap, a sentence that feels very weird to say the quiet HTTPS revolution passkeys are REALLY catching on resilience keeps showing up in the titles of news items Apple Intelligence insults the BBC’s intelligence MITRE ATT&CK evals drama Lastpass breach drama continues All that and more,

The local network is no more. Neither is the corporate firewall. Users are not only working from the office but also remotely, meaning the network we utilize has quickly become the internet, leaving devices and data vulnerable to cyber threats. But how do we monitor this new, expanded network? Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how the dissolution of the business perimeter makes network access controls essential to protect your devices and, by extension, your data. Network Access Control helps protect business assets whether employees are in the office or remote. ThreatLocker Network Control provides a direct connection between the client and server, as opposed to a VPN that goes through a central point. This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.

Practices around identity and managing credentials have improved greatly since the days of infosec mandating 90-day password rotations. But those improvements didn't arise from a narrow security view. Hannah Sutor talks about the importance of balancing security with usability, the importance of engaging with users when determining defaults, and setting an example for transparency in security disclosures.

For our second year now, Mike Privette, from Return on Security and the Security, Funded newsletter joins us to discuss the year's highlights and what's to come in the next 12 months. In some ways, it has been a return to form for funding, though some casualties of a tough market likely had to seek acquisition when they might have otherwise raised another round and stayed independent a while longer. We'll cover some stats, talk 2025 IPO market, and discuss the likelihood of (already) being in another bubble, particularly with regards to the already saturated AI security market. It won't be all financial trends though, we'll discuss some of the technical market trends, whether they're finding market fit, and how ~50ish AI SOC startups could possibly survive in such a crowded space. In this segment, we discuss two new FIDO Alliance standards focused on credential portability. Specifically, if passwordless is going to catch on, we need to minimize friction and maximize usability. In practice, this means that pas

For over 15 years, Okta has led the charge in securing digital identities through more sophisticated sign-in solutions. Our latest 2024 Secure Sign-In Trends Report offers insights into the rapidly evolving world of identity security, specifically on how organizations across industries are embracing modern, phishing-resistant methods like Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and passwordless sign-ins. In this year's report, we explore: - The surge in MFA adoption across industries, and what it means for the future of secure authentication. - Phishing-resistant authentication methods gaining traction, signaling that the passwordless future is possible. - Why a seamless user experience and strong security are no longer in opposition. - How industries compare in their adoption of modern authentication, and who's setting the pace.

Observability is a lot more than just sprinkling printf statements throughout a code base. Adriana Villela explains principles behind logging, traceability, and metrics and how the OpenTelemetry project helps developers gather this useful information. She also provides suggestions on starting logging from scratch, how to avoid information overload, and how engaging users about their experience with solutions like OpenTelemetry makes for better software -- a lesson that appsec teams can apply to paved roads and security guardrails.

Check out this episode from the SWN Vault, originally published on February 13, 2019! This Secure Digital Life episode was hand-picked by main host Doug White. Well, there are a lot of terms that are around in Cyber these days. I think we could do shows every week for a while and never get through them all. From AI to Zero Day Exploits, there are a plethora of terms that everyone uses all the time but maybe you don't know them yet. So, I thought we would grab some of the more common ones and try to explain. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/vault-swn-21
